Ever have one of those days where you are just so tired that it's all you can do but to try and keep from falling asleep…at your desk? I’m having one of those weeks. Although, today I’m really having a hard time trying to stay awake. Not a good thing while at work. What is making it even worse is the fucking air conditioning.
I’m one of those people that just can not tolerate air conditioning. My body retaliates by making my whole body feel as if I have the flu, while at the same time telling me in its own subtle way that its thermostat still works just fine. I used to have this problem when I was still over in our customer service department.
But up until 2 years ago, I didn’t have this problem until just recently. See, I had this office all to myself. I didn’t have to share it with anyone. Since I had this office all to myself, the first thing I did was close the vent in the ceiling where the air conditioning/heat blew out of. I then went even one step further by taping a piece of cardboard over the screen, totally blocking any cold air from escaping. I was set!
Now I sure in the hell wasn’t going to tell my new office mate what I had done. I wanted to wait and see how long it would take her to complaint hat it was too hot in the office. Come Monday she was asking me if it felt too hot in here. I said nope, I was comfortable. But I knew that I had to explain what I had done. Before you know it I’m looking for the ladder so I can remove the cardboard and open up the vent.
Monday wasn’t too bad since it was actually a hotter than fucking hell kind of day again. But come Tuesday the air conditioning was taking its toll on me. Today I feel completely wiped out. Even 2 Vente quad soy Carmel Macchiato’s can keep me awake. All I want to do is go home, crawl into bed and sleep. I have absolutely no energy, what so ever.
Am I the only one whose body reacts this way to air conditioning? I mean com’mon. This is ridiculous! I literally feel like I have the flu. My body is aching all over, my joints feel like they all need to pop. My eye lids feel like they weigh a ton and I’m having a hard time breathing, and my sinuses are making my head throb. And I take sinus medication everyday as it is because of my allergies!
All I know is that I can’t hang with this anymore. I’m going to have to ask if I can move somewhere else where I don’t feel like I am in an ice box.
What sucks even more? I still have 2 more hours till I can leave work. Today has already felt like an eternity. 2 more hours seems like infinity.
